Fund-A-Scholarship Tonight is our opportunity to help reach our full fundraising goal of $1,000,000 toward financial assistance for our Lancer scholars.

Did you know? Nearly 25% of Parker students receive financial assistance. We believe the opportunity for qualified students to attend Parker should not be limited by a family’s financial circumstances. Because of your support, Parker is able to commit more than $8.3 million to deserving students for the upcoming 2024-2025 academic year.

Need-based financial assistance awards range from $1,000 to more than $43,000 per year and are awarded to students in Grades JK through 12. One hundred percent of financial assistance recipients who graduate from Parker matriculate to four-year colleges and universities. Parker ensures that recipients are able to take advantage of the full Parker experience, including one global trip during Middle School and one during Upper School.

Please Raise Your Paddle!

Demonstrate your belief in Parker’s top priority—our students.

Thank you in advance for your generosity.

Paddle raises will be solicited at the following levels:

$40,000 $25,000 $15,000 $10,000 $5,000 $2,500 $1,000 $500 $100 10 | Francis Parker School Parents Association
